NORTH PORT, FL – In alignment with neighboring communities and in preparation for storm season, the City is hosting a monthly Saturday Sandbag Station. Residents are invited to pick up free sand and sandbags at the self-serve station located behind the George Mullen Activity Center, 1602 Kramer Way, where sand has traditionally been distributed in past years.
Sandbag Station dates and times:
- Saturday, June 14, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- Saturday, July 19, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- Saturday, August 9, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Please note: Dates are subject to change if a storm is forecasted. Updates will be provided as needed.
Residents are encouraged to bring their own shovels, as only a limited number will be available on site.
After use and once sandbags are dry, store them in a cool place out of direct sunlight. Properly stored sandbags will be ready for use next year or whenever needed.
